This family is passing through so much pain. Buhari is a devoted and loving father. It will take time for them to digest the reality of his demise. May Allah SWT give Aisha Buhari the pillar of strength to hold the family together.

Islamically, she is supposed to be indoors for 3 months.

I can understand what this family is passing through. PMB must have been a wonderful and caring father. It may take time for them to adjust to the reality of his demise. I pray God gives the former first lady grace to hold the family together. May God give them strength during this period.
